Security

Last night again Andrew woke up twice before 11:30 crying "MOMMY! MOMMY!" The first time as soon as I walked in his room, he laid back down and was soon sleeping. The second time I was feeling very tired and a little irritated. I asked him...

What is wrong?

"I just wanted you."

What do you need?

"I just need you to make me feel safe in here"

Well that nearly broke my heart to hear him say that, especially since I was irritated by him waking up. That is one of my jobs, to make him feel safe in this world.

I used to think, "if only I could keep them safe at home a little while longer." Soon the little ones were ready for more adventures and that was okay too.
